Linksys Ships Fancy, Stylish New Wireless N Routers

Cisco made news earlier in the month by claiming to give the Internet more room to grow, but obviously, boxes that are larger than most trucks can't easily be integrated into the home. Today, the company is introducing a few items that can actually be easily moved into the home.

The company's Linksys branch has just revealed some of the neatest routers we have ever seen, and undoubtedly the most stylish. We've often wondered why routers were so ugly, yet there's no good way to hide them. Linksys now has the solution to that problem, with a new, streamlined product lineup that highlights a new piece of software: Cisco Connect.

Obviously typing the strong-suits of the two companies together, Cisco Connect enables users to easily customize and control their home wireless experience, which has generally been reserved for DIY enthusiasts who didn't mind tinkering with their settings or installing some patch that gave them special access to the Linux build beneath. A whole new range of Wireless N routers have been created to best take advantage of the software, all of which are explained in detail below.
